whitegold Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm making my way through The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory and loving it! This is my second book from the Tudor series, I am definitely looking forward to reading more from Philippa Gregory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexiepiper Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I finished The Passion and I'm kinda glad to be done with that series so I can move on to something else to be honest, so next I'll be starting a book I've been sent to review Rebecca 'Bea' Dakin - The Girlfriend Experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookJumper Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Glad you're enjoying Wicked Muggle, it was easily my best book of 2008. Sorry you weren't that keen on Anansi Boys Cookie - what didn't you like about it? I loved it so much I re-read the first half hot on the heels of the end!

SueK Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm about half way through Rebecca's Tale. It is OK and as a mystery I find it quite good but I don't think it does the original Rebecca justice. The ghostly elements of it I find odd plus the reason for Rebecca writing the journal doesn't make sense (I won't say more in case people want to read it). Still, once I get to the end I can then safely lay the ghost of Rebecca to bed as I would have read the original and the prequel/sequel. Then I can move on to my TBR pile at last:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrongIslander Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Read another chapter of American Psycho but to be honest I just want to get through it now. I have hopefully much better books waiting that turned up yesterday and today in the form of "The Road" and "This Thing of Darkness." On we go...

Peacefield Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I finished Nightlight: A Parody last night and practically giggled myself to sleep it was so funny. I'm still listening to The Last Summer (of You and Me) in the car and I think I'm going to do a quick re-read of The Lady and the Unicorn by Tracy Chevalier starting tonight. I don't know if I had a dream about tapestries or something, but I woke up in the mood for this book and it's my absolute fave of hers . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I finished Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde today. I'm was worried that after anticipating it for so long, I would be disappointed, but thankfully, I loved it! Will be starting The Immortals: Evermore by Alyson No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It was pretty awesome. Well it must've been pretty awesome since you read it in huge chunks! Happy reading with Wodehouse I finished Dewey last night, I still had 100 pages left when I went to bed with it but I just couldn't stop reading it. It was such a lovely read! Also started Lady, My Life as a Bitch by Melvin Burgess. Soo far the book's been... pretty out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Have finished The Harlequin, it was better than the last two but not up to the usual standard! @BookJumper - I can't put my finger on why I didn't like Anansi Boys, I think it was because I had such high hopes for the auther that he didn't stand a chance of living up to them!!! Started reading Byron last night - haven't read much yet but I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peacefield Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Almost halfway through The Lady and the Unicorn by Tracy Chevalier. I never get tired of reading this book and honestly could imagine reading it several more times over. I went over to dinner at my mom's last night and I helped her with her Amazon shopping . I picked out The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova for my birthday present (yay!) and then she ordered a Catherine Coulter book for herself. Oh and she also bought 2 dvds . I can't wait for the Kostova!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for the Kostova!! Can't wait to hear what you think of The Swan Thieves, I hope it's every bit as good, if not better, than The Historian! You were very helpful to your Mum with her Amazon shopping , I'm sure she was very glad she had you there I have read exactly 2 pages in the last two days, what the hell???
